I've been staring at both of them for a while now - and I can't imagine how you did it! <br /><br />Because it looks like you were on the right track - surmizing from the seam prior to where the zipper begins... AND both pillows turned out the same way?!! I don't get it. <br /><br />Believe me - I'm not criticizing... I'm just trying to figure it out because I'm putting off making the two pillows I offered for my boyfriend's sofa - because I'm having zipper anxiety myself! <br /><br />Nice work though.. they're beautiful!TRShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09801686710086039781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-60979274014522007.post-44814009788441202322009-11-15T15:41:21.662-07:002009-11-15T15:41:21.662-07:00I am so proud of you...but still too scared to try...I am so proud of you...but still too scared to try this.

I'm sure I'll have to get over it at some point....There is an alternative to making zippered pillows....you can make them that overlap in the back like a sham. This link is a fabulous pillow calculator with simple instructions.... I have used this pattern to cover tiny pillows up to Euro Shams....Easy peasy....<br /><br />http://www.jcarolinecreative.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=JC&Screen=BASPILLOW<br /><br />:)LouLouLouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09696910531549477938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-60979274014522007.post-9434728709308469062009-11-13T07:28:17.764-07:002009-11-13T07:28:17.764-07:00You're good - they look beautiful.
